I have used following command to fetch the CPU utilization of a process. It is giving result, but it is not coming out. I have used following command.

top | grep <processname>

I just want to put this in a loop and I will insert sleep in the code so that I can fetch the value in regular intervals

top -b -n1 | grep processname

Use the -n option of top:

-n
